slowly getting there-- how come life keeps getting in the way?--doesn't it know I'm trying to build a boat LOL !

 

I made the small boat flotilla. I am in the process attaching them and then doing the lashings.. If you look close the two most inner boats by the mast  are lashed the others are all just placed in position.

I know I know I know I haven't finished doing the lashings on the small boats but this was far more exciting to do :)    15cm guns and turrets ... The scheme is yellow upper surfaces but I toned it down to a more green/yellow purely for artistic looks..

It's been awhile life and work just gets in the way. Making slow progress..just a few shots of where I'm at now. The main turrets are just placed there, lots of work are still needed on them..

A little bit daunting when first reading the instructions for fitting the bow deck fittings, some very small drilling required!
